Information
APFL is a leading professional meeting platform for the entire value chain of the leather industry with a truly international character. Before the 2022 event edition APFL was hosted in Hong Kong; however, due to the persistent obstacles presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, no events have taken place since 2019 and APFL found a new home in Dubai from 2021 to 2023. APFL will make a return to its Hong Kong location in 2024.
